註釋This thesis explores how committed romantic relationship with other feeds and nurtures relationship with one's inner spiritual and psychic life. The research elucidates the unconscious psychological, emotional, and behavioral dynamics that have the potential to both disrupt and deepen relationship to one's romantic partner as well as to one's self. Toward this goal, the thesis includes a hermeneutic comparative discussion of classical Jungian and popular attachment-based couples therapy relationship theories. The author examines these theories heuristically in relation to his personal experience of a romantic partnership. The author's applied experience and theory are further explored in an alchemical hermeneutic fashion through the medium of nighttime dream. The thesis finds that Jungian and attachment-based theories share common ground in their emphasis upon how dynamics within the parent-child relationship extend into adult romantic partnership, and often are expressed unconsciously. They differ with regard to the assignment of personal responsibility within relationship.
